Tools for divination: 50 yarrow stalks, 3 (ancient) coins, and the classic itself — in my edition, Taoist Master Alfred Huang’s translation. Image by the Author
Divination leaves the freedom and responsibility to make a choice to us, while it provides us with a response to our question, with an external perspective on how we can act.
The ‘Book of Changes,’ which we may consult when we are facing doubts over a decision, will give us a strong and specific response. Not only will it encourage us to act (or not to act) in a certain way — it will also tell us which kind of situation dynamic we are currently in.
The following article is based on my edition of the book and on what I learned at a sinology course — the mind-blowing rationale and method of performing divination using the ‘Book of Changes’.
